About names starting with B
The names that begin with B are few and full of warmth. Benjamin was the youngest of Jacob's twelve sons, and one of the tribes of Israel would carry his name. Boaz was the kind landowner of Bethlehem who married Ruth and cared for her when she had nothing, and their family would one day lead to King David. Barnabas earned a name that means son of encouragement, and he lived it out, standing beside Paul and lifting up everyone around him. Bartholomew was one of the twelve friends closest to Jesus. And Benedict carries the letter into later years, remembered for a simple life built on prayer and welcome. B is a small letter with a generous spirit.
